Awww........ Are those “Evil” Republicans playing grinch again and not giving the wanna be boy king all his Christmas Presents??? Poor barry will have to just take solace in spending several weeks in Hawaii in luxury...

>>So the White House is turning its focus to a smaller package that would extend the Bush-era tax rates on income below $250,000, pause the across-the-board spending cuts known as the sequester and renew unemployment insurance benefits, according to senior administration officials.

So, to sum up, package has lots of tax increases, no spending cuts, plus more welfare spending. And the media will spin this as a “reasonable compromise”.

I figure he is making up new talking point lines to keep playing to the camera EVERY DAY to show them that HE is working over the holidays to do EVERYTHING he can to avoid the suffering that comes with the cliff.

‘He is disappointed that Republicans refuse to say ‘yes’ to all his concessions.’

‘He is optimistic that they will eventually do the right thing.’

‘He is sad that they put politics ahead of the American people’

His plan is to completely annihilate Republicans in congress so his last two years he can get the real ‘reforms’ passed.

Increased taxes. No spending cuts. This is what Obama wanted all along. I am not sure why I worry so much about the debt since I have given up on this once great country. These young people that voted for Obama will have to deal with it after I am gone.

Obama wants the “Cliff” effect to occur. The after all the taxes kick in and the pain begins to hit home he can jump in like a knight in shining armour and propose a “Tax Break” for the poor downtrodden middle class. The Republicans won’t be able to say no and they will then cease to be viable even as a memory of what this nation was before the Marxists took it over. The cry will be, “Obama, President for Life.” Sieg Heil!
